He has also participated in the mentoring of several undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral fellows. He was awarded the 2018 Best Mentor Award for the GW Postdoc Association. He has secured extramural funding as a PI including an R21, R21/R33, R56 and two R01s from NIAID, as well as other grants as a collaborator. He is also participating in the leadership of the DC Center for AIDS Research as the Core Co-Director of the Basic Sciences Core. His expertise in HIV has been recognized both Nationally and Internationally and he has participated as an expert reviewer for NIH, amfAR as well as different international organizations among others. During his career, he has published over 60 peer-reviewed publications and has reviewed manuscripts for different Journals, including Nature communications, eLife and the Journal of Clinical Investigation Insight.
